I am your typical housewife living in high maintenance suburbia. I have a handsome husband, 2 kids and a flock of pet chickens. I try and feed my family with $100 a month. With the help of coupons, gardening and bartering I am able to squeeze the most out of our grocery budget and still manage to have a little fun along the way.

So, did you do anything exciting last night? Me? Umm, well, I went to bed at 9pm, how awesome is that? 😉 The good news is the HH has the next 5 days off so I am looking forward to getting some projects marked off my honey do list. We’ll see, sometimes when he takes time off we don’t get anything done, and other times he’s like a mini Bob Villa {minus the duck tape}.
